Joel Allen - Allen Port On Server Less Computing -March 2009

If you've ever wished you had access to your work PC without having to lug around a corporate laptop, then virtual desktops might be for you. Desktop virtualization lets you use your corporate software and documents from any computer.

Enterprise computing has come a long way from the days of centralized mainframes in the 1970 s to the fully distributed desktops and laptops we see today. With the workplace becoming more technologically diverse and increasingly mobile, desktop IT workload grows exponentially with each new user and configuration. Is there a solution that can give IT centralized control while still providing end users with a familiar interface? Yes there is - VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure allows you to centrally deliver virtual desktops from your secure datacenter to your end users. Virtual desktops look and behave like traditional PCs. Therefore, users can still customize their desktops, download additional applications without adding to the IT support queue. VMware virtualization helps you take back control of the desktop. This podcast features VMware Desktop Specialist Todd Dayton in an interview that dives into the architecture behind VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, applicable use cases and tips on how to get started. The Server Virtualization Blog has a great and concise explanation of the VM value proposition in a recent post by Bridget Botelho, including links to case studies.

Server virtualization. Retiring and redeploying servers. Improved cooling. Virtualized desktops. Even temporary storage of the OS. These initiatives comprise Sybase's enterprise green strategy. Like many large companies, this $1 billion data base vendor has cut unnecessary IT costs by consolidating data centers. Now Sybase plans to keep unnecessary IT costs from growing by going green. In fact, Jim Swartz, CIO of Sybase, says that these initiatives could postpone the building of a new data center until 2017.
